How To Wear Sportswear For Fall

The sportswear as ready-to-wear trend first emerged last spring with Alexander Wang’s low slung skinny sweatpants worn with pointy black booties. From Derek Lam and Bottega Veneta to Lacoste and Hermès, it was made official . . . workout wear is fashionable and trendy. It looks and feels so comfortable, but also has an edgier side when styled smartly; for example, when paired with a crisp button-front blouse and sharp-shouldered blazer. But now summer and spring are over, but the girls still want to wear their sweats when they go out. How can they do so without looking too casual? The answer is all in the details, and heels have never made more sense that now.

You don’t have to limit the sportswear trend to just the popular sweatpants leftover from summer. Play around with other sporty pieces instead. Replace your classic blazer with a hooded cropped sweatshirt cardigan and wear it over an elegant silk blouse and skinny high-waisted trousers. The mix of dressy with casual is a juxtaposition that can be worn anywhere without a doubt.

Another option is to throw on an oversized college letter jacket over a basic white tee and pair it with denim jeans and black pumps. You’ll look like a sports star with class.

Can’t live without your running leggings? Find a pair in a fun pattern, throw on a tunic top and girlish flats, and top the look off with a distressed denim jacket and baseball hat. You’ll still show off your shape with the leggings, but the extra masculine touches bring out your tomboy side that loves to have fun and get active.

Adding some unexpected jewelery into the mix like a rock star studded cuff or pretty jeweled bracelet keeps the sporty and edgy ratio in balance. Remember, this look is perfectly executed when every detail is taken into consideration.

Channeling your glamorous sporty side has never been easier or more fun! The best thing is . . . you can easily transition from work to the gym in no time!
